The Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom (FDCW) is an FPMT-affiliated project “dedicated to promoting peace in the world through Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom [UECW], a system of inner development that enables people of all ages, cultures and traditions to lead a happy and meaningful life and to be of service to others.” Inspired by FPMT founder Lama Yeshe, FDCW works to carry out his vision for “a new kind of education for the world.”

“The new website aims to present a clear and up-to-date overview of our aims and activities for everyone from seasoned UECW ‘elders’ to people who are encountering Universal Education for the very first time,” wrote FDCW director Alison Murdoch. FDCW programs include the 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life, Seven Steps to Knowledge Strength and Compassion, Transformative Mindfulness Methods for Inquiry and Intervention, Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training.

We hear religious people talk a lot about morality. What is morality? Morality is the wisdom that understands the nature of the mind. The mind that understands its own nature automatically becomes moral, or positive; and the actions motivated by such a mind also become positive. That’s what we call morality. The basic nature of the narrow mind is ignorance; therefore the narrow mind is negative.
